Everything was ready on the field early on Bank Holiday Monday, and a
briefing by Instructor Rick Wiles with what proved a falsely optimistic forecast
with a Northerly wind, and sadly the thermals escaped everyone except Rick and Callum who shared what was left of a dying thermal before their hangar landing at
the very end of the day. Peter Howarth also kindly was there to Instruct

We welcomed three Friends & Family visitors – Mark Duffy and two Juniors
James and Charlotte Duffy, brought by Paula, and also Tim Forth who had three
early flights.
Midday there were delays due to cable tangles at the winch following
near-solo pilots being taken through their Practice Cable-Break exercises. It
was a cold Northerly for those waiting, including the Duffy family, but their
flights went well, and we thank them for their patience.

Experienced pilot Tony Tayler from Shenington is staying at a Campsite near
Tavistock, came regularly at the weekend and was a pleasure to have on the field
and in the air.
Heather kindly drove the Retrieve vehicle all day.
